Anonymous	Dude I beat the level in 10 seconds. You can hit the exit switch really fast.	x
Anonymous	Tedious, simplistic. The map is basically six or so geometric areas with switches and a lot of back-and-forth teleporting; any level that relies upon lit arrows to point you at the next teleporter has problems. The sounds are decent, especially the lift noise, but I've heard them all over the place. The shotgun noise in particular (so, thanks to Mark Anthony Klem).	x
Anonymous	the sounds are cool.	x
Anonymous	This level has 2 positives: 1) There is no HOM 2) It ends Apart from that it is god awful. A piss-poor layout and some of the most annoying sounds one could imagine combine with some pretty mediocre gameplay. Avoid it please. 1/5	x
Anonymous	Plays okay. Scenery is nothing spectacular but not bad. Also contains new sounds which, while unnecessary, are not obnoxious.	x

                                though the sounds are funny...)

Authors may NOT use this level as a base to build additional
levels.
You MAY distribute this WAD, provided you include this file, with
no modifications.  You may distribute this file in any electronic
format (BBS, Diskette, CD, etc) as long as you include this file
intact.

CONCERNING THE NEW SOUNDS:
Authors may NOT use any of the new sounds included in this wad, with the
exception of the two sounds by Mark Anthony Klem (normal shotgun and player
falling sound). Mark Anthony Klem allows other authors to use his sounds,
provided that he recieves a mention in the credits. If you use either of these
sounds, you should have the courtesy to thank him (E-Mail him on: mark.klem@swcbbs.com ).
Members of the group Degrees Centigrade may use any of MY sounds, but no-one
else without special permission.

Authors may NOT use any of the new graphics either, unless they have permission
from me. E-mail me if you have any questions.

As always, no Degrees Centigrade member will be held responsible for any
problems etc. that use of this wad may cause (tho there shouldn't be any).

Special note:
        This wad is the ONLY wad made for Doom 1 by Degrees Centigrade. It
        is actually s'posed to get you Doom1 owners out there to get with it
        and join the masses switching to Doom2 wads. So try out the various
        other wads by DC (for Doom2, of course).
        Bear in mind that this in no way detracts from the quality of the
        wad... It's fully functioning and one of my better ones to boot.
